The Bradford and Bingley has denied reports that it's interested in a takeover bid for Northern Rock.

The mortgage lender had been linked with a possible move to form part of a private sector rescue of the firm. But in a statement it said it wasn't actively pursuing a bid for any part of Northern Rock at this time.

The Bank's troubles have been raised at Gordon Brown's monthly news conference - where the Prime minister insisted that he had dealt with the problem in the correct way.
